It's clearly a derived work. That original client is GPL'd. Thus Ander's https://github.com/andersevenrud/xpra-html5-client legally has to be GPLv2+ licensed. However, he declared it MIT licensed, which is a GPL violation (you cannot just relicese GPL code as MIT). For our purposes, we'll just consider it to also be GPLv2+, though of course I _wish_ it were MIT licensed. This is not a problem for CoCalc, since CoCalc is AGPLv3+. It will be a problem for [OS.js](https://www.os-js.org/) if they care, since that program is 2-clause BSD licensed. -- Implication: any version of cocalc that includes this smc-webapp/frame-editors/x11-editor/xpra directory, MUST be released under GPLv2+ or compatible license. This will matter if we ever need to relicense cocalc for some company. If that happens, we'll have to delete the x11-editor code from the different-licensed version. That would be easy. +- Implication: any version of cocalc that includes this smc-webapp/frame-editors/x11-editor/xpra directory, MUST be released under GPLv2+ or compatible license.
